The KidSafe Project Society is a local non-profit organization that works with vulnerable inner-city Vancouver children to provide safe havens over the school breaks, nutritious meals and snacks, educational programming, and fun field trips. Every year, KidSafe serves 450 of the most vulnerable children in Vancouver on the principles that children are professionally referred and all services are offered absolutely free of charge.
This year, KidSafe was chosen as one of the 10 official charities for the BMO Vancouver Marathon to be held on May 4th. Their goal is to have 100 runners join their Team of Heroes to raise $100,000 for the children in their programs. The money that is raised will go towards KidSafe break programs where the children will receive their daily nutrition, one-to-one and group counselling, safe shelter, and supervision from caring adults. As an incentive for participating, Nuba is donating a gift card that will be given to the group of runners that raise the most money.
If you'd like to participate in the marathon, full details are available on KidSafe's website.
